The Monster Within

[Intro] [Verse 1] There’s something inside of me I can’t control It’s itching, tearing, begging to take hold I’ve chained it deep beneath my bones But tonight… I’m losing control Deception in the mirror’s eyes Delusion where the truth should lie My heart still craves what flesh denies And I can’t keep it locked inside [Pre-Chorus] I’ve been strong so long Keeping shadows in my soul But the voice keeps whispering— “Let me go…” [Chorus] Let the monster breathe through me Let it burn, let it bleed This is more than dark desire It’s the fire that sets me free I was made to break these chains To let the world finally see This monster inside of me Was never meant to be my enemy [Verse 2] The vessel shakes, my faith divides Light and dark are intertwined If I fall, will I still rise? Or lose myself in the divine? They told me I was born to fear The part of me that draws too near But what if this is how I heal— To face the truth and disappear? [Bridge] Let it out! Let it live! My testimony, my freedom within If I burn, then I burn for the sin Of hiding the power beneath my skin [Final Chorus] Let the monster breathe through me Let it roar, let it sing Every scar’s a melody Every pain’s awakening I was made to walk this line Between the dark and the divine This monster inside of me Is the proof that I’m alive [Outro] So I whisper to the dark— “You are me… and I am free.” The monster sleeps no more… It finally believes.
